Synopsis

Lyle (Karl Davies) picks Peter (Stephen Fry) up from the hospital. Peter immediately buries his head in the case of a dispute between two brothers, the younger of whom is concerned that the elder - a duke - is selling off titles and lesser parts of their estate, apparently to fund his heroin habit.

The river is polluted, fish are dying and Lyle is determined to take it on. Mr Kerwin (Simon Scardifield), whose land backs on to the river has heard Lyle is acting on the pollution case. Kerwin's daughter swam in the river, and is covered in blisters. Lyle meets the daughter and tells Kerwin that fish in the river died from a high dosage of chlorine, possibly from the chemical plant. He tells him he's going to find out who is responsible, and make them pay. Lyle asks Kerwin what his wife died from and Kerwin says it was cancer.

Lyle suggests compensation but - money won't bring back Kerwin's wife. Lyle takes a cabbage away for testing, only to receive a call from the environment agency confirming that the pollution didn't come from the chemical plant.

Gloria (Celia Imrie) is getting more and more worried about Peter's health. She beseeches him to take care of himself, and refuses to let Lyle in to consult him about the pollution case.
Gloria tells Peter that the surgery has called and his test results will be available in the morning. At the doctor who tells him that he has type 2 diabetes but goes on to explain that the blood test also brought up something slightly more complicated.
